Reserves Marcus Rucker and Steven Joachim also stand at 6-4, while tight ends Deven Onarheim and DajLeon Farr are 6-8 and 6-6, giving Memphis one of the nation's tallest corps of pass catchers.

"I've just been watching film recently, and the guy that really stuck out to me was Calhoun," UT junior All-America defensive back Eric Berry said. "He's a very explosive player -- very fast, very tall, probably one of the best wide receivers that we're going to face this year.

"That team has a lot of talent. We watched their offense yesterday in meetings, and we can't go in there thinking, 'Oh, this is a Memphis team that isn't SEC.' We've got to make sure that we're ready to play, because they do have a lot of talent, and they do have some good coaching."

UT has fared well all season against big receivers, though, including Georgia's A.J. Green, Alabama's Julio Jones and South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery.

The Vols have certain gotten enough practice against size, first-year head coach Lane Kiffin said with his typical smirk.

"We've been facing tall guys all year long; it feels like everybody's got them but us," Kiffin said. "We've been going against it week in and week out and have done a great job for the most part, but this week will be another big test."

"What you have to do is just make sure you're all right with you're technique, and make sure you're focused on what you've been coached on all throughout the week and the whole season," Berry said. "And if you go up for the ball, make sure you come down with it and they don't. That's the biggest thing.

"We have a very good service team. We have a wide receiver that's about 6-4 or 6-5, and Dennis Rogan and Art Evans go up against him every day in practice, and he's very physical and very tall. That's really been helping them guard the bigger wide receivers."

BERRY GOOD ATTITUDE

Berry said he wasn't concerned about his inability to surpass former Florida State star Terrell Buckley for the NCAA's career interception return yardage record. Berry entered the season 15 yards from the record and hasn't had many opportunities to break it, thanks mostly to quarterbacks throwing away from him.

"We're doing good right now, as far as winning games," Berry said. "The offense is rolling, the defense is doing good, so I'm just going to keep sitting back and playing my role. I'm pretty sure opportunities will come my way, because we have a few more games left, but I can't let that get into my head.

"I'm just going to keep playing my game and doing what I've been doing."

Berry said he's grading out weekly higher than he did last season, which was one of the top goals he set for himself this summer, so he's far from displeased with his performance.

"Other guys are making big plays, and we're winning more games now than we did last year or earlier this year, so I really have no reason to be frustrated," Berry said. "I'm feeling better, actually, because winning as a team is all that really matters."
